NEW SUBSCRIBERS TO AMJASA OFFERED SIX MONTHS TO PAY CONNECTION FEE
Tuesday 17th January 2012

The Board of Directors of AMJASA, the municipal water company, have agreed to implement a new system of deferred payment for new customers who apply for connection. The agreed proposal was for new subcribers to be able to split the connection fee into six monthly payments. However, the board were quick to point out that failure to meet the final balance after those six months would result in an immediate cut of supply.

The board feel that this new measure demonstrates the company's appreciation of the current period of 'crisis' and the subsequent economic difficulties suffered by residents and businesses across Jávea by offering a more affordable connection fee for those who are building a new house or opening a new business premises. The company is aware that the one-off fee is usually quite high, especially the obligation to make a contribution to the municipal desalination plant.

The board also reached an agreement to modify the rules regarding leakages which would be more beneficial to the customer. At the moment, the customer is penalised for abnormal consumption caused by an internal fault or neglect. Changes will be applied that will monitor high consumption of both domestic and irrigation installations that may be attributable to a fault.
